The thing is some of the other servers actually don't like some of the stuff that HC has done. So they would NEVER copy it unfortunatly.

No thanks.

Anyone try Psi Armor on Stalkers yet? I was about to go to Beta to try it out but curious what those who have been playing it think?

No thanks.

Interestingly this is EXACTLY what the devs said in beta about why certain things were locked behind Aethers. There are certain effects and costumes that they don't want to be common. I disagree with that reasoning, but that argument discussion was had during the closed and open beta for Aether Costume pieces . . . and well we have what we now.

This rotation of it per server is really a good idea. Perhaps also grant folks some extra server transfers during that weekend so folks that want to move to another server during (like from Excelsior to Everlasting for instance) the time that can do so.

and this is why I prefer the devs making powers decisions. Not players.

And you have summed up my issues with this rule perfectly. Thanks

one thing I liked about Champions online was the slightly easier Respec system

Not enough testers on beta, and a VERY VERY large release. I myself barely had time to touch everything that was going out in beta.

Porque no los dos? 😄

As a person who came up in my current job as a QA person and Business Analyst: 100%.

I doubt they will find anyone to replace that person. That seems like a very boring and thankless job. If you could make stories in AE and link them to the doors in the outer world to create new door missions, then I and many others might be more interested. Right now AE feels too much like a simulation where you just go read fan fic.

I can see a few improvements as suggested. I wouldn't be mad at them. Storm is a nice battlefield chaos agent if played correctly.

All great games. And I would still rather play COH then any of them.

I disagree with the OP. IMO changes are not that bad. And yes it was obvious the nerf hammer was eventually gonna hit plant control lol

yep that’s the rub. A majority of this playerbase don’t want the game harder. If they did, you would not see for example, most team leaders waiting till they got 8 players before heading into a mission. lol A majority of COH players want the game to be as easy as possible a majority of the time. the other evidence of this already stated early is most TFs /SFs staying on the lowest difficulty so that they can clear it as fast as possible. Keep in mind that a large portion of this play base for COH aren’t kids anymore. We have jobs, kids, etc. So spending hours banging your head against difficult challenges isn’t something wanted. “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” There are other games for that when the mood strikes.

And I and a majority of those who play this game are fine with that. If others want challenge they can unslot their IOs and form teams of like minded folks who want to run at +4 / x8 all the time and fight nothing but AVs all the time. The rest of us will be here enjoying COH as we always have.

Eh, I don't play low end enough these days to care about SB. With that said when I do, I think ID, transfusion, and transference (at the level ranges where available to the Kin, depending if primary or secondary) are more useful IMO.

The second you nerf FS, overall, kinetics is waaaaaaay less useful in my opinion, even if you buffed IR an Repel. Repel is actually pretty good on kinetics farming builds. (Gives some bit of safety from my experience). EDIT: Honestly I don't think Kinetics needs any changes in general, but I can see making it slightly different for MMs.

No to the suggestion for the reasons already given. This would screw up how and many others play the game.

Yeah we keep being told the game is balanced around SOs. I have significantly agree. the advice shouldn't be "slot it to the gills" with IOs to make it . . . decent. That's a balance problem on it's face. lol

I am forever calling this set Brain Armor from now on. thanks for this. LMAOOOO

Yeah you are right. This is dead on arrival. lol

Honestly anything that doesn't feel fun to play will be getting mothballed. I don't have the patience anymore to deal with the ridiculousness of the respec system/screen. (IMO one of the worst parts of City of Heroes -- not HC fault, it's always been that way. Champions Online improved this a bit.). I'll just play anything else (Set or AT as needed). I'm used to it with HC changes by now. lol
